Apparently, based on a few articles I’ve seen, there is a town in France called Bugarach where pilgrims, new agers and others are congregating not to meet the end but to be first in line when an alien spaceship emerges from a mountain to save these believers by giving them a ride to an outer space utopia. I only know what little I’ve seen on websites so I’m not really sure what criteria it will take to get on the ship. I guess the closer you are to the beginning of the line, the better your chances although I would hope the aliens are a little more selective than that. This seems a superior way to welcome 12/21 in. If the day ends, the sun goes down and the aliens didn’t come, you just walk home. In your story from Argentina, the stakes seem a little higher.

A propos, or not:
Today’s silly NY Times has an opinion piece by someone named Reed. Reed observes that Tim Scott, an African-American, will be appointed a US Senator from South Carolina. Scott is a Republican, appointed by a Republican governor. He will be the only African-American in the Senate. From this, Reed concludes that…….Republicans are racist.

The liberals are already calling him a house nigger and “not a real black”. They also dismiss the Republican Governor who appointed him as “not a real Indian” because, unlike Betsy Warren, she’s of India Indian descent and not Irish faux Cherokee. So a female Republican Asian Governor appoints a black Republican, thereby proving that the racist Republicans are continuing their war on women and minorities. It’s the narrative that counts, not the facts.
